Melissa M. Mowry PhD
Bio
I am a Professor of English at St. John's University in New York where I teach and write about the literature and politics of 17th and 18th c Britain, particularly as it affected those at the literate margins of society: criminals, prostitutes, as well as indentured and enslaved peoples.

Education
I earned my Bachelor's degree from Boston University and my graduate degrees from the University of Delaware. I also completed two summer progams in Literary Theory at the Georgetown School and the School for Literary Criticism and Theory. You can learn more about my teaching, scholarship, and community service by viewing my cv below.
